Autumn Greetings

 It's no secret I love working with panels, sometimes choosing parts of one and parts of another to make something new.

For this wall hanging I chose the Autumn Greetings section first.  

Next came the pinwheels which are 4" finished for each pinwheel, more orange sashing was added to the top and bottom of the pinwheel units.

That is when I searched through my panel parts to see if anything would look good with what I had so far. That yielded the leaves and acorns rectangle. I had to trim it a bit to fit. Next was putting these three parts together and surrounding it all with orange sashing.

Then came the gold/neutral squares, green border and finally the beautiful orange with metallic gold leave border. After quilting it I went in search of a binding that might coordinate as I didn't have enough of the orange leaf fabric for that.  I might have squealed a little when I discovered the perfect stripe with metallic gold accent in just the right color in my stash! 

The backing with the folded triangle hanging tabs.  This piece was snatched up shortly after I listed it.  That just means I need to move forward with another fall panel:)

My coneflowers are blooming nicely this year, this one was unique in it's downward petals that I thought he deserved a photo.
